Officially off work...

...and not going back until April 2011!!

It's a very strange thing to think about, but a very good perk about living in the UK.  Here's we're entitled to take up to a year off work and return to the same job.  I do get paid for some of my time, but not all of it and not my full salary. I also accrue my annual leave while I'm away, which means I have 30 days (at full pay) which I can only take after my official maternity leave ends, which is why I've got until April off.  I am definitely looking forward to being a stay at home mommy, but it's hard to picture what life will be like, even in a few weeks.

We've got two weeks left (in theory), so our weekend was mainly comprised of shopping for all the things we haven't bought yet-both in store and online. We're nearly there...I think!?!? 

The exciting part of this week is Wednesday when Mom arrives!! We've got lots of plans to paint the nursery and get some other things done around the house, so hopefully Baby W won't make too early of an appearance. Actually I'm convinced he'll be late--not for any reason in particular, but just a hunch.
